BUSH BABY BROS.
Come for the Bushbabies. Leave Caring About Their World.
Meet Merlin
Merlin is a lesser galago—better known as a bushbaby—and an animal ambassador for CECDFW. His enormous eyes, incredible jumps, curious personality, and nighttime adventures introduce people to an animal many have never encountered before. But his job is bigger than being cute!
What is a bush baby?
Bushbabies are small nocturnal primates native to Africa.

One animal can spark curiosity. Curiosity can create compassion. Compassion can become action.
Daily videos can show enrichment, natural behaviors, feeding, training and their ridiculous antics.
Merlin serves as an animal ambassador—using the connection people develop with an individual animal to introduce them to the millions of animals and wild places they may never personally encounter.
